Diversity of the bacterial communities of distal intestinal mucus. Boxplots show the species richness (A), Shannon index (B), Simpson index (C). The boxes display the interquartile range (IQR) and shown in the figure are the first (lower hinge) and third (upper hinge) quartiles (25th and 75th percentiles, respectively) and the black horizontal line inside the box represents the median. Whiskers extended from the hinge represent the minimum or maximum values within 1.5 ^∗ IQR from the hinge, and black dots beyond these values are outliers Different letters indicate statistically significant differences (P < 0.05) between the study groups (CDM, control group; LDM, AlgOS-L group; HDM, AlgOS-H group). Double principal coordinate analysis plot (D) shows the beta diversity of the bacterial community. Ellipses encircle data from a multivariate normal distribution.
